Hello All,

I've purchased my first motorcycle -- a '91 K100 RS. I am new to the biking world -- but since my purchase on August 9th I've ridden 1000 kms. I think I am a convert. I am a car guy at heart -- I participate in both autox, and in HPDE events in any of my three cars -- a 90 Miata, a 98 M3, or an 07 Elise. I've been an HPDE driving instructor for three years.

I'm already thinking about what it would be like to ride the bike on a track . . .

Rob

Welcome Smile

Now if you asked me I would have advised against bikes of any kind. I do so with all my friends and they just don't listen.

Bikes are addictive and like with all addiction you are never over it. Most people I know, me included, are on the bike or in between rides for ever. I know, I've been at it since I was in high school SmileSmile

But, they are a great fun. I can only advise u not to start a collection ... I have 3 and many here have more Smile

Lastly, my solution to almost all problems. Fuel pressure, what time is it and where the hell am I? Smile

Welcome! Just got a '91 K100RS myself. I also found myself contemplating how much you could lay it down on the track ......funny how a BMW will do that to you.

Far enough that you can wear the stands and put a hole in the muffler.
